AMD: China AI Hiccup

  • Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. faces a potential $800 million charge due to new U.S. export controls on AI GPUs to China, impacting up to $1.6 billion in revenue. Despite this setback, AI GPU demand remains robust, with AMD securing major orders, including a $2+ billion contract with Oracle. AMD stock is undervalued trading at just 15x '26 consensus EPS estimates, with potential for far higher earnings on faster sales growth from AI GPUs.
